Stinky The Clown

And ANOTHER thing . . . . . ! [View all]

Nancy Pelosi isn't flashy. She isn't a trash talker. She isn't a camera hog.

She has a low key demeanor. The fact that she is incredibly effective at her job and has successfully kept her caucus in line and together often gets overlooked. She runs things like a woman. She builds consensus. She listens. She shares. She's inclusive.

Some people seem to think that's weakness.

It ain't.
